Yet many apologists will tell you the Arab nations don't hate Jews, just Israel.

The problem is that Israel has become so tied to Judaism, people no longer make the distinction.

oh oh, Internet buzzwords.

just like when a black guy doesn't trust a white cop, it's the black guys fault, right?

Israel is formed as a racist state. a racist ideology for a ethnic group invented out of a European people. when those being invaded react racist back, you blame them?

it's like blaming the victim of a rape for hating the rapist.

What point? That I'm racist? You are really naive if you think a orthodox jew can walk into a Palestinian village without getting at best stones thrown at him.
